`30.Aug.1999` Hyperion	Hyperion brings "Smacker" to Amiga "Smacker" is an industrial standard video codec, developed by RAD Game Tools and used in over 1400 games. Currently, Smacker is only available for MAC (68k and PPC), DOS, Windows 3.x, 95 and NT. At first, Hyperion considered developing an own video codec, but since Heretic 2 by Activision and Shogo:MAD by Monolith make use of Smacker, it was decided to save developing time and purchase the license for the port, since Smacker is really fast and efficient when used with only 256 colors. smacker.com.

`30.Aug.1999` FutureZone	Hotmail cracked completely FutureZone writes: Mail of every user readable \| no password needed \| details unknown so far \| FutureZone has tested Exploit The free mail service Hotmail has been cracked heavily today. With a web form it is possible to read any user's mail - without password. FutureZone has a corresponding link, first tests revealed: Every Hotmail account is readable. (Full article - German - at the title link.) August 31st, 1999: Heise writes, among others: Hotmail hole fixed for now About twelve hours after the Hotmail hack became public, Microsoft reported the bug has been fixed. In the meantime, the Hotmail server was offline. Our editors however recieved messages until late in the night that readers were able to scan Hotmail accounts without the need for a password. After the Microsoft announcement at 2:00 AM local time, this seems to be impossible. Microsoft has not yet commented about the technical background making the attack possibe. Spiegel Netzwelt, among others, writes: Hacker group claims responsibility for Hotmail hack According to informations of the online news service "Wired", a so far unknown hacker group claimed responsibility for the move on Monday. The online magazine cites a Swedish spokesman that is reported to have made contact with "Wired". According to him, the group named "Hackers Unite" consists of a Swedish and seven US-Americans. The hackers made the backdoor public to bring attention to the insufficient security of Microsoft's products: "We didn't make this hack to destroy, but to show the world how bad the security really is at Microsoft, and that the company nearly has a monopoly on computer software", a 21-year-old group member is cited.

`28.Aug.1999` Thomas Lorenz by eMail	FusionPPC: Only 380 of the needed 500 preorders recieved Thomas Lorenz writes: There are still many preorders missing. Here the latest news from the Fusion mailinglist: From: Jim Drew msdei@ctaz.com Subject: [FUSION]: PPC upgrade status This is an official announcement from Microcode Solutions... As many of you know, Microcode Solutions has been trying to establish a base market for its new emulations. We presented the public with a test marketting idea of pre-paying for a PowerPC emulation. We reached our base goal of 500 units (actually we reached nearly 700), and then we announced that we were now accepting the pre-payments. To date we have only 380 pre-payments (none of which have been processed), meaning that we are still short 120 units before we can commit to producing this product. It has been several months since we have been collecting actual pre-payments. We are spending an incredible amount of time and resources on this project (which is 1/1000th the revenue of our PC market), and we hope that we are not wasting our time by doing so. We ask that if you have not placed your order yet, please do so now. If we do not reach the 500 unit goal, we will not release the product, no matter how much we have completed so far... we will use some of the work for our PC version. x (ps) [News message: 28.

`27.Aug.1999` Andre Beer	Update GeoWorld After more than half a year of work, today we finally finished the long-awaited update to version 1.1 of GeoWorld. GeoWorld, probably the best geographical software for the Amiga, has been expanded by the following features in version 1.1: adding a new generic search function in the maxi search, enabling for the first time the search for special keywords in the additional databases like economy, history etc. (full text search) complete rework and bugfixes NewLook-Menus for OS 3.0+ (no more changing menu colors) flashing pointer for cities and small countries now working correctly scrolling of the maps pixel by pixel per keyboard sorting speed-up due to presorted databases faster search functions (in Assembler) VisualPrefs now supported nearly completely GeoWorld-Fonts can now stay in the same directory interaction with all requesters now completely by keyboard option to give distances in miles instead of kilometers requester "no information available" now with configurable time-out reworked and expanded prefs window (among others display mode, font, use, save or reset prefs) expansion of the city database for Austria, Switzerland, Brasil and US cities (over 1100 cities with ZUP code, 6119 cities total) expanding the city databases with details about country / state capitals expanding the country databases with details about the Internet abbreviation (e.g. .de, .uk, .us) informations about the databases are now kept in a seperate GeoWorld.data file, so an expansion of the databases does no longer imply a change of the main program expansion of the info requester rewritten and expanded online help reworked and extremly expanded data about the inhabitants of the countries (over 100 kByte text!!) The Update Nr. 9 and a up-to-date demo version are available from our homepage (title link), and should appear on Aminet (misc/edu) in the next few days.
